A Christmas Carol at The Old Vic

A CHRISTMAS CAROL RETURNS  TO THE OLD VIC BY POPULAR DEMAND | 27 Nov – 18 Jan

‘Matthew Warchus’ production is a love song to Christmas, to the redeeming power of theatre and, not least, to The Old Vic itself’ The Observer

Matthew Warchus’ big-hearted, smash hit production of Charles Dickens’ immortal classic A Christmas Carol returns to The Old Vic from 5 December, with previews from 27 November, joyously adapted for the stage by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child).

Filling the auditorium to the brim with mince pies, music and merriment, a unique staging immerses the audience in this uplifting story for everyone aged 8+.

‘Jack Thorne’s superb retelling mines the ghosts of Scrooge’s past in a timely production brimming with love and affection’ - The Guardian

‘Matthew Warchus’s magnificent staging provides everything you might want from a theatrical adaptation of Dickens’s timeless (and never more timely) morality tale’ - The Independent

‘Dare I suggest it, it could even rival that obvious pinnacle of Dickens’ adaptations, The Muppet Christmas Carol’ - Radio Times

‘It’s a magical night. Enjoy.’ - The Times

  • Fantastic night

    21 January 2019

    Thoroughly enjoyed the night. The acting was fabulous. Transported into Dickens era as it was so convincingly well acted. Minced pie was a nice touch. So much better than I expected with. Excellent value for money.

  • Excellent theatrical production

    21 January 2019

    A most enjoyable production suitable for all ages. It was lovely to feel part of this story. The snow falling on the audience, the Christmas spice scent and the flying Brussels added to the happy atmosphere created in this production.
